Summary: This study conducted a systematic review of contemporary digital reading research, using co-citation network analysis and content analysis to identify key topics, trends, and features. The study identified three mainstreams of digital reading research, namely differences between print books and e-books in reading comprehension, adolescents' habits and preferences in digital reading and their digital reading literacy, and analysis of reading behaviors and use of interactive learning books. Most studies employed quantitative or mixed methods, focusing on evaluation through tests and questionnaires, and did not explore specific application domains or learning strategies. Affective aspects, cognition, learning behavior, and causation were the main focuses of research on digital reading. Key research topics in digital reading included engagement, digital media, and digital literacy. The study provides directions for future research and digital reading education.
